Some of his major achievements across the array of roles held earlier include having successfully managed the wide-spread rioting during the anti-Sikh agitation of 1984, Mandal agitation, the security arrangements for the Asian Games held in Delhi in 1982, the Non Aligned Summit of 1983, followed by CHOGM and, most notably, the hugely successful management of the Commonwealth Games, 2012.

During his nine year tenure in the CBI, he was involved in investigating and successfully concluding a number of important trans-national operations and cases. These included investigating the Mumbai blasts of 1993 (he brought the Memon brothers to justice), the serial train blasts of 1994, the unearthing of the massive UTI scam, the first set of investigations into cricket match fixing, and the arrest of the key conspirator in the assassination of the Punjab Chief Minister Sardar Beant Singh. His work in combating Pakistan sponsored terrorism in India is noteworthy, particularly the arrest and deportation of Aftab Ansari, the key conspirator behind the terrorist strike on the American Centre, Kolkata in 2002.
